NAMPA prefixes in area code 208
NANPA records 28 assigned NXX blocks to rate center NAMPA in area code 208, 3.6% of the 785 blocks assigned in the code. A rate center is the billing geography a block is allocated to – NANPA truncates the name to ten characters, so read it as a NANPA label rather than a town. 11 holders hold those blocks, the largest being QWEST CORPORATION (8), CELLCO PARTNERSHIP DBA VERIZON WIRELESS - ID (5), NEW CINGULAR WIRELESS PCS, LLC (4). The earliest assignment on record here is 2002-04-04 and the most recent 2021-02-10. 17 of them are in thousands-block pooling, so those prefixes are shared between carriers in 1,000-number lots. The same rate center name also appears in area code 986 – overlay codes cover the same geography, so a rate center is served by all of them.
